Zhang Haoran looked at Lin Zhan in surprise and said,
"Old Lin, you did that on purpose, didn't you? How did you know that would cure me?"
Lin Zhan smiled mysteriously and said,
"My grandpa's diary mentioned it. Back then, my grandpa and his men suffered a major defeat. Three old generals were in the same condition as you, even worse. The army doctor at the time came up with this method of strong stimulation for treatment."
Zhang Haoran said emotionally,
"I don't need to say anything else, Old Lin. I'll keep this friendship in my heart. From now on, if you, Old Lin, blow your whistle, I, Old Zhang, won't flinch even if I have to go through mountains of knives and seas of fire, or ride through dust."
Lin Zhan patted Zhang Haoran's shoulder and said to the rest of their brothers,
"We're all brothers who've shared the same pot of rice. It's out of line to say such things. Let's go, Haoming went to buy groceries. Let's have a good meal, brothers. By the way, where's Erzhuang?"
Meng Gang shook his head, his face filled with grief and indignation, saying,
"That scoundrel Wang Erzhuang couldn't resist temptation and betrayed the organization. He went to a hotel with Yang Tingting."
Lin Zhan looked at Meng Gang, bewildered, and said,
"Holy shit, it's only been a few days, and they're already this horny? Aren't they afraid of causing a death? He really lives up to being Da Zhuang's brother."
The few of them walked side by side, unrestrained, across the campus of Gaowu.
Zhang Haoran seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said to Lin Zhan,
"Old Lin, were those three old generals under Grandpa Lin's command cured by this method back then? Then why wasn't this treatment method popularized?"
Lin Zhan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said,
"After the three old generals were stimulated, one of them died on the spot from a surge of blood, another went mad on the spot from being unable to bear the pressure, and only one old general was unharmed."
Zhang Haoran's forehead beaded with cold sweat and he said,
"That's fine, a one-third chance is still acceptable. Didn't one of them get cured? As long as there's a success, it's fine."
Lin Zhan looked at Zhang Haoran with surprise and said,
"Who told you that one was cured? The last old general was deafened on the battlefield. No matter how much he was stimulated, he couldn't hear, so he escaped that fate."
Zhang Haoran's face darkened as he looked at Lin Zhan and shouted loudly, "Lin Laoh Hei, are you even human?"
Saying that, a Bagua pattern appeared on his hands, and two huge bolts of lightning struck towards Lin Zhan.
Although Zhang Haoran was only at the preliminary Golden level, his combat power was not weak at all. The power of the two lightning bolts had already reached the high-level Platinum.
Lin Zhan looked at the two incoming bolts of lightning, and the shadow of his Tyrant Saber reappeared behind him, slashing towards the lightning.
"Zhang Dashengun, are you getting cocky? Have you forgotten who's the boss because I've been injured for a long time?" He said, drawing two flying shark chain sabers and charging towards Zhang Haoran.
Within five meters of Zhang Haoran, he flicked his hands, and the eighty-centimeter-plus combat sabers shot towards Zhang Haoran, driven by the chains.
Zhang Haoran chanted an incantation: "Guard!"
A luminous Bagua, three meters in diameter, appeared in front of Zhang Haoran.
With a "bang," the chain sabers collided with the Bagua. Lin Zhan’s hands moved, gripping the chain sabers, and with a wave of his hand, more than ten flying knives shot out like flying dragons spitting pearls.
Zhang Haoran held his magic sword and flashed his seven-star steps, dodging Lin Zhan's flying knives.
"Lightning, lightning, lightning." He pointed his magic sword at Lin Zhan three times, and three bolts of lightning struck down at Lin Zhan from above.
"Thunder Step." Lightning flashed under Lin Zhan's feet as he dodged the lightning, rapidly closing the distance and engaging Zhang Haoran in close combat.
Close combat, the saber was heavy and powerful, slashing at Zhang Haoran rapidly, one blow after another.
Although Zhang Haoran cultivated Taoist techniques, his hand-to-hand combat skills were not weak. Holding his magic sword, he blocked Lin Zhan's twin sabers.
At the same time, he twirled his sword like a flower, parrying the twin sabers, and thrust his sword straight at Lin Zhan's face.
"I implore the flying sword god to descend to the mortal world and patrol heaven and earth... Minor ritual for flying sword..." Zhang Haoran chanted an incantation, and the magic sword shot towards Lin Zhan's face like a shooting star.
Lin Zhan chuckled, and with his left hand, he swung his chain saber wildly, forming a chain wall that entangled the flying magic sword.
With his right hand, he swung the chain saber and shot it towards Zhang Haoran's center.
Zhang Haoran chanted an incantation, and another Bagua appeared in front of him.
"I was waiting for you." Lin Zhan roared, and with his right hand, he swung the chain saber again. The chain landed on several flying knives behind Zhang Haoran.
Lin Zhan pulled the chain, and the flying knives lifted off the ground, shooting towards Zhang Haoran's undefended back.
Three flying knives pierced Zhang Haoran's outer garment, but did not even scratch his skin.
"Is that enough, Old Zhang? After this beating, you should be over your anger," Lin Zhan said, retracting his twin sabers and throwing the magic sword back to Zhang Haoran.
Zhang Haoran put away his magic sword and said to Lin Zhan with annoyance,
"Lin Laoh Hei, you're still going to be inhuman, playing close combat with a mage like me. Have you no shame?"
Lin Zhan rolled his eyes at Zhang Haoran and said,
"If you talk like that, then I'm a beast tamer. Believe it or not, I'll let Xiao Jin and the others surround you. It's already giving you face to fight you for so long with this broken chain. Otherwise, I would have already gone at you with my Chengying great saber."
Zhang Haoran sighed and said,
"I'm truly an idiot. Playing close combat with Lin Family's Tyrant Saber. My brain really needs to be cleared."
Just then, four golden warriors in uniform walked over.
"Who was fighting just now? Which class are you guys from? Who is your homeroom teacher? Who is your mentor?"
Lin Zhan looked at their uniforms and knew they were from Gaowu's disciplinary department. He politely replied,
"We haven't even met our homeroom teacher yet, and we don't know who our mentor is."
"Oh, you're a tough one, huh? Boy, let me tell you, just answer what I ask honestly. Don't talk nonsense. Believe it or not, I'll deal with you." The leader, a long-faced member of the disciplinary department, said.
Lin Zhan and the others' expressions immediately turned grim upon hearing the disciplinary officer's words.
As the most formidable bandit organization in China, they were the ones who always looked for trouble, and it was the first time they had been threatened like this. How could they stand it?
Meng Gang took out six handles of hardened wood from his storage space, distributed them to the others, and then said to the long-faced disciplinary officer,
"We really can't. With your appearance, like a donkey spirit, you think you can deal with anyone? Believe it or not, I'll turn you into donkey intestine sausage."
"Brothers, let's get him!" he shouted, and charged towards the four disciplinary members.
Lin Zhan and his five companions, although only at the Golden level, were all beasts whose bodies had been strengthened twice. Fighting beyond their level was a basic operation.
The four members of the disciplinary department were also only at the Golden level, and they were outnumbered by Lin Zhan's group by two. In just one exchange, they were all knocked to the ground.
